A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City of Marion, Wisconsin on November 7, 2024. The request, issued by Fox Cities News, sought specific information about new voter registrations.
In the interest of transparency and public accountability, we at Fox Cities News have requested a list of all individuals who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. This information is crucial for our ongoing coverage of local governmental affairs and electoral processes.
The request was made under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., with a preference for electronic format delivery. As a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage, access to such public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities.
We believe that holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public are integral parts of our journalistic mission. Given our role in disseminating information to the community, we have also requested a fee waiver as part of this FOIA application.
Fox Cities News remains dedicated to keeping our readers informed about important developments in their local government. We will continue to pursue all available avenues to ensure that this commitment is upheld.
